Campanula rotundifolia, commonly known as harebell or bluebell of Scotland, is a delicate and graceful perennial wildflower that is widely distributed across Europe, Asia, and North America, thriving in meadows, rocky slopes, prairies, open woods, and even coastal dunes where soils are well-drained and often nutrient-poor. Despite its common name, the plant’s basal leaves are round only in early growth stages, and as the stem elongates, the leaves become slender and linear, giving the plant a fine, airy appearance. Typically growing 6 to 20 inches tall, it bears wiry, branching stems that sway easily in the breeze, tipped with nodding, bell-shaped flowers in shades of soft blue to violet, blooming from early summer into fall. Each flower has a papery delicacy yet endures across long flowering seasons, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators with its nectar. The harebell is remarkably resilient, tolerating drought and poor soils, and has long been celebrated in folklore and poetry for its ethereal beauty, often symbolizing humility, constancy, and delicate strength. In gardens, Campanula rotundifolia is valued for naturalized plantings, rock gardens, and wildflower meadows, where its dainty form and sky-blue flowers weave gracefully among grasses and other perennials, bringing a sense of lightness and charm while supporting biodiversity.
